The Communication Patterns Keeping Couples Stuck, and How to Break FreeBy Lola AgosuRecorded Track
Length5h 37m

About this audiobook

Every couple argues. But most couples argue about the same things, in the same way, and reach the same dead end, not because they don't love each other, but because they have never learned to see the pattern underneath the conflict. Stop the Cycle is a coaching-based guide to the six communication styles that keep couples stuck: the Avoider, the Emotional Feeler, the Defender, the Over-Explainer, the Problem-Solver, and the Score-Keeper. Through the lives of four couples, Maya and Jordan, Ayo and Zainab, Luis and Sofía, and Priya and Marcus. Certified Leadership Communication and Relationship coach Lola Agosu shows how these patterns form, what they protect, and how to break free from them. This is not a book about fighting less. It is a book about understanding more. Written and narrated by the author in her own voice.
